When buying the house, this inspection will give you a peace of mind about the home's safety and functionality of the home's features. We perform a visual, non-invasive, inspection of the structure and systems of a home for the purpose of determining safety and functionality, according to ASHI Standards of Practice. The average home inspection takes approximately 2-4 hours to complete, though this time frame is dependent on the size and condition of the home. Upon completion of the home inspection, a detailed report with pictures will be sent to the client. This inspection may be required by some lenders.

A wind mitigation inspection is a visual examination of a home’s existing ability (or lack of ability) to withstand damage during a windstorm.

If you are purchasing a home with a swimming pool, the safety and condition of the pool is just as important as the rest of the house.

Because a pool that is not in good condition can be a money pit, it is important to get a full inspection of a pool before you purchase a home.
The inspection will include:
If you are selling or buying a manufactured home, then most likely a foundation certification will be required. For all FHA and VA loans, an engineer's foundation certification is required that states that the home is placed on a permanent foundation that complies with the "HUD Permanent Foundation Guide for Manufactured Homes", dated 1996 by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
We have partnered with the engineers at Foundation Certifications to provide a turn-key foundation certification service to you.
Nobody is perfect, and that includes Home Builders. Even the best of the best will make mistakes from time to time. We can perform inspections at various points of the build to help identify and address any oversights during the building process.
